Finding Self, Finding Love
DU ER IKKE ALENE (You Are Not Alone) is a 1978 Danish landmark film written by Lasse Nielsen and Bent Petersen and directed by Nielsen and Ernst Johansen. When the period during which this film was made, a time when gay theme movies were all but verboten, this little film is a brave, delicate, tender, unpretentious tale of the bonding, both emotional and physical, that occurs between two young boys in a boarding school in Denmark. The story develops slowly and insidiously, a fact that makes some viewers find it boring or slow. But for this viewer the pacing of the story is intricately involved in this tale of the fragile first attractions that occur in young boys: everything is new, and nothing is rushed – it just happens and evolves.

Kim (Peter Bjerg) is a young prepuberal youth living with his parents: his father (Ove Sprogøe) is headmaster of a boys’ school and his mother (Elin Reimer) is in line with the father’s hard-line standards. Though not a student in the school, Kim does associate with the young high school age boys and finds one lad in particular, Bo (Anders Agensø), a role model who shows concern for Kim and with whom Kim bonds, emotionally and eventually physically. The manner in which this occurs is never acted out but merely suggested in the most discreet and beautiful way. But we watch as this bond develops more strongly, with each of the boys nascent to the situation in which they find themselves.

The classmates are a varied group – normal kids in a normal school situation – until one of the boys Ole (Ole Meyer), who is somewhat of a trouble-maker, posts magazine pictures of nude women in his dorm room. Reprimanded by the headmaster he is put on probation and when he ultimately posts the contraband pictures in the dorm restroom, he is threatened with expulsion. His classmates band together to protect him and Ole is maintained in the school.

Other sidebar stories that pepper the screen are swimming hole escapades where the injury of one of the boys calls forth the empathy of the entire class; there is a vignette where an older woman tries to teach one of the boys the beauties of physical love; there is a shower scene that finds Bo and Kim gently observing each other; and there is a class project for graduation that is supposed to be an enactment of the 10 Commandments, one episode of which is assigned to a student filmmaker.

It is this finished class project film, shown before the faculty and the parents, that is based on the commandment ‘Love thy neighbor’ and it is a beautifully wrought scene of Bo and Kim embracing and kissing in one of the more honest and sensitive moments on film. The ‘non-story’ film ends without an audience response: it simply fades away to a tune that speaks of ‘You are not alone – there is someone like you ahead.’ No, this is not a film about nudity or raw sex. Instead this film is a brave exploration of the normal period in growth when boys search for role models and find their first sensations of love emerging. It is delicate, beautifully filmed and acted, and is one of the early forays into same sex love that works on every level. Grady Harp

Du er ikke alene!
Whilst the film does get somewhat lost ‘in translation’ and the fact it could have been one of the best films of all time, it does go that extra mile in being what is ‘cult’ cinema.

It is one of the few films I have witnessed in my time, as a freak cinema goer, that has received such a commendable rating in my eyes. It could have been a 10/10 if only one thing could have been achieved… the middle peak period could have been so much better.

Characters brilliant, Cinematography brilliant, Continuity brilliant… just a pity that fourth C, ‘Content’ couldn’t have been that little bit more satisfying.

As mentioned I believe it does get lost, or somewhat dragged down by one element, that being the flat situation of the peak middle period being the expulsion of one of the characters because of ‘lude’ material displayed in his room. Whilst it does merit the young individual’s choice in the situation, and the basis of the story itself, the whole point to this movie seems to be about same sex love in essence. I mean, look at the final scene! It outweighs a lot of he story in many scenes. Distracting it by this event – the expulsion – somewhat drags it down and distracts from the true essence of what this film really sets out to achieve.

If you want to create a film with a final scene, and many other scenes that primarily display homosexual interaction between individuals by choice, then why would you make the peak event that of complete difference? Regardless of this small pitfall – from making it an absolute masterpiece – everything else just fits perfectly. The honesty, the innocence revealed, as we knew it as children it compels the viewer into a realism. You feel engrossed in the character’s lives, and their emotions so profoundly. Not to mention the brilliant acting by the kids! Outstanding! And all because of brilliant Casting and Direction as well! The Danish have always been well known for their wonderful storytelling and film making in general. This would have to rate as one of their legendary films.

This is one film I rate as one of my favourites of all time. Certainly not my favourite, but definitely up there. If I were to change anything it would be that element that should have been a sub story, and perhaps making a more moving moment one where the headmaster’s son was caught in a situation of uncompromise to some people perhaps? In all, we probably don’t know where the film-makers were coming from with this film. In some ways I don’t anyways. And this is the only element that lets it down. Hindsight is great for one thing only… this instance now! I honestly don’t think it’s too taboo, it’s just very honest and true. That’s what makes it different and ‘real’ cinema! And unique in the sense that few films these days, even though it was in the late 70’s, challenge the narrow-minded world governed by the US and the UK that kids these days have thoughts and feelings about being ‘people’! The only thing that makes them feel wrong about themselves, what they’ve done and everything else around them, including what happens to them in their eyes, is what society tells them! And we can blame the US and UK for that! TOO protective!!! Get a grip you Yankee/Pommy B******S!!! And thanks for finally uncensoring it you twits!!!
